welcome to the world where hype obscures reality...
To be honest... I got so bloody bored, I had to skim through the movie at places to finish it...
My honest opinion, I'm still to figure out why, why is this movie acclaimed so?
It's not believable, if you are an Indian you'd have similar stories of rags to riches a million times... what it does beyond is to showcase the poverty in India... an wasted attempt to mix poverty vs. realism... the movie is loaded with so many negative scenes about poverty , sequentially placed in a manner that it does create a sensation (not sure of if the word fits right) amongst the westerners, who've have forever looked at India as a land of poors/ snake charmers... for them the movie will appeal as they in their myopic view on realism... see what they want to see and believe.
What surprises me is, why are there are so many people celebrating, and why especially in India? Just coz it has an Indian/Indian origin cast, staff, viewers in India, Indian show hosts, news anchors ... does that mean we need to agree upon or just create a hype for the same...
Are we aware that by appluading this movie we are reinforcing the stereotype... ?
And abt Rahman winning @globes... have you guys lost your senses or taste... Rahman... no doubt makes brilliant music... infact brilliant is an understatement... but this surely wasn't a piece that great... pick any movie for which he's given music to... I bet, u'd find atleast two or more tracks far better than "jai ho"...
My take on the movie: just another movie ... overhyped...
